History

The area near the station in April 1988

The facilities for the Kanazawa Seaside Line opened on 5 July 1989, coinciding with the start of service between this station and Shin-Sugita Station.[1]

The name Kanazawa Hakkei ("Eight Views of Kanazawa") is taken from the name of a series of

Andō Hiroshige
.

Since 2010, all Limited Express (Kaitoku) trains stop at this station.

Keikyū introduced station numbering to its stations on 21 October 2010; Kanazawa-hakkei Station was assigned station number KK50.[2]
